You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1872

Chapter 1872: Silent Farewell

Cloud pursed his lips and watched Vicki, motionless, as if he knew what she was going to say next because they understood each other too well. Subconsciously, he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, but the tighter he held it, the more his hand trembled, and the muzzle kept shaking.

Both Mr. Ball and Luther were nervous at the same time, fearing that the gun might accidentally go off.

At this moment, Vicki took a deep breath, suddenly smiled slightly, her smile filled with infectious warmth.

"Rayan, between us, it's already in the past. I hope that in my heart, you will always remain as the big brother who loved and protected me. I will always remember your kindness. I know that I owe you, and I won't be able to repay it in this lifetime. But if there is a next life, we can start over. I will repay you for this debt of mine, in full."

Upon hearing these words, the light in Cloud's eyes suddenly faded, like a dying ember.

She had made it clear, it was impossible between them. In her heart, he would always be a brother. If they didn't want to turn against each other, if they wanted to leave the best memories in her heart, the best course of action was to let go now. Otherwise, with her personality, if he killed Felix, she would eventually follow him in death. His own life didn't matter, but her life was what he cherished the most.

He had done so much, right or wrong, all for her sake.

In the gentlest way possible, she extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

It was a silent farewell.

He couldn't be any clearer about it.

Cloud slowly let go of the gun in his hand, despair evident on his face as his arm fell weakly, eventually dropping the gun to the ground.

Mr. Ball quickly stepped forward and kicked the gun far away.

Everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go, don't worry about me," Cloud said bitterly, closing his eyes in desolation. At this point, he had no other choice. They were the family of three, and he was the surplus one. Since he loved her, why make her regret for a lifetime? One person with a lifetime of regrets was enough. She was right, back then it was his impatience that led him down the wrong path. He should not have joined OGW, ultimately losing himself. It wasn't her fault, it was his own choice, and he should bear the consequences.

Felix didn't expect Cloud to back down voluntarily, he was somewhat surprised. Just as he was about to speak, Vicki pulled him back with one arm. She glared at him, silently signaling him not to say anything.

"Thank you, Rayan," Vicki sincerely said, "I will always remember the love you had for me."

Felix's face darkened upon hearing this. His woman, right in front of him, said that she would always remember another man. It was simply testing his patience.

At this moment, Luther spoke, "Rayan, take the USB drive. I won't hide it from you, the drawings inside are half true and half false, not entirely useful nor entirely useless. There are a few bugs in there, and if the researchers at OGW are skilled enough, they can also crack the bugs. But if they can't, I can't help either. However, it won't take them longer than a week to discover the existence of the bugs. And during this time, it's enough for you to leave OGW and for OGW to fulfill their promise to you. Besides that, the conditions I mentioned earlier still stand. I will provide you with a set of overseas identities, overseas accounts, and enough money. I guarantee that you will live a safe life for the rest of your days."

After speaking, Luther directly handed the USB drive to Cloud. This was given to him personally by Joyce, and they had discussed it before. It might not be a bad idea to hand over this USB drive to OGW. Sometimes, throwing out bait could lead to greater gains. They had carefully considered it and decided to give this thing to Cloud.

Cloud looked down at the USB drive in his palm, then suddenly turned away. "Vicki, leave. Before I regret. We..."
